Potato salad is one of those classic side dishes that is so easy to make why do people insist on buying them pre-made this is our version a classic version which has loads of input from you and it’s gonna start with a very simple process potatoes boiling potatoes and
Here’s how to do it we’re going to basically take these new potatoes are washed and scrubbed mainly cut them so they’re all roughly the same size we’re looking at about that large walnut small golf ball Soto’s place them into a saucepan and cover them with just enough cold water
And then season with salt now unlike boiling pasta where you want as much water you possibly can so that you’ve got that rolling boil for potatoes just enough to cover them you’re going to heat them up to a gentle simmer with a lid on top that’ll speed up the process
And we want to simmer them for 12 to 14 minutes if you want an extra tip then why not take yourself a little bit of mint especially if you’ve got it growing and throw it in the water it’s just enough to infuse an awesome little bit
Of flavor if you’re serving them just as boiled potatoes while we wait for our potatoes to finish cooking we can take an onion red we can peel it have it and slice it there it’s important as I started this recipe with a white onion people said a Fleck of pink color from
An onion would improve it okay using red oak thank you for that clarification now the key in your potatoes is you don’t want them boiling all over the place just a gentle simmer for 12 minutes or so depending on the size of them and you know they’re cooked when
You stab them with a sharp knife they’ll just pretty much fall off if I get stuck on the knife that’s still too starchy and you give another minute or so now the mint has done its thing you don’t need that anymore what you can do is scoop all the potatoes out and into
Here with a slotted spoon we’re going to keep hold of the hot water because we’re going to use that to blanch our red onion and our spinach just takes the edge off of the heat of the onion but keeps its crunch lovely just scatter the others in separate all the different
Pieces add the spinach which will wilt right down and both need about a minute just to blanch while we wait for the potatoes and spinach to cool down we can make the dressing now when it comes potato salad the store-bought ones tend to be a bit craggy and cloying or beautiful words
Use in the recipe video not that great which is why we’re going to make a much fresher lighter one you guys said less about the mayonnaise more about creme fraiche yogurt or sour cream okay in a two-to-one ratio so we’ve got twice as much creme fraiche – mayonnaise
Plus we’re adding a splash of white wine vinegar and some capers and the zest of a lemon this is going to be fresh unreal put on a bowl mix it up and season it and as if that wasn’t quite enough freshness for you this potato salad is
Going to get even fresher with some fresh herbs we’re going to chop up some mint and some parsley and we’re going to put it through the potato salad with the dressing with the spinach with the red onion somebody was to stumble across this potato salad they’d wonder if it was
Laid by a beautiful beautiful potato bird look how fresh that looks we’ve piled it into a bowl of crisp watercress and there is a classic potato salad that you will want to try at home sort it see if you can describe this without using the f-word new potato salad it’s
Bria it’s got the crunch of onion but without the harshness yeah there’s so much better than store-bought stuff obviously not going to a potato side on its own you’re probably going to pair it with a whole number of other dishes which you can get at sorted food you

Is the obsession with mint a British thing or just a Ben thing?
I will never understand why it is so common in the UK and the US to throw the potatoes into the saucepan without boiling the water first… It just makes them hard and really unpleasant to eat. But then again, I'm Portuguese, so maybe it's a cultural thing?
what can be another replacement of spinach?
I'm southern….this recipe makes no sense to me lol. but I get it.
My brain hurts
I want this salad So Bad
MUST TRY!
I love making fresh potato salad. My mum has a great recipe that uses red potatoes as well as white potato, red onion, chopped celery, chives and some other things (can't give all of her secrets away lol) but to the creme fraiche, she will add Dijon mustard which gives a bit of heat but tastes delicious. I always love it when she makes it for bbqs etc. I eventually got the recipe too. I make one with sweet potatoes; as well as making a traditional one and adding chopped pancetta or bacon. Really yummy! I haven't used mint with potato before. I mostly use chives or dill. Might try it.
No. Just no. Mayonnaise has no business being in a potato salad, or crème fraîche or any of those things. The only potato salad worth eating is a swabian one made with a nice beef stock…
lol in America we wouldn't make it that way….
why is Ben in every single video? like I get he's a pro chef and all but I feel like the screen time should be distributed evenly among all of the guys instead of having Ben direct one of them in all the videos. they're showing us recipes which I'm pretty sure the guys could easily handle without Ben being there all the time.
You don't need a lot of water to boil pasta — See Harold Mcgee in his Feb. 24, 2009 column in the New York Times called "How Much Water Does Pasta Really Need?", for example.
add crispy bacon and diced hardboiled egg and you've got my vote
Yummy!!! Love it. I will leave out the mint just because I am not used to it. Love the tip for the onions
You guys are amazing!!
I'm so glad that I saw this today, I actually have the ingredients for it in my tiny cupboard at uni :3
Well it's very easy quick n healthy, I missed out dressing (salad) mixture details, as u were too fast for words.
Thank you for sharing.
do you by any chance know how to make German potato salad?
Not going to eat potato salad on its own. Pfft. Ben you underestimate my love for potatoes.
I've tried it today, and just the dressing alone is to die for! 🙂
I have used broccoli instead of spinach, so it wasn't an exact copy of this recipe. But i can imagine that spinach just "brings it over the edge".
I have also added some roasted pine nuts, and that was also a nice flavory touch. (Even if i say so myself).
Thanks for uploading this, and greetings from the Netherlands!
I puked, how dare you to boil those babies!!
Ben's look of "over it" right after he said red onion??
I don't know why but I love it when Ben wiggles herbs at or on the other guys hahahahah. Gets me every time .
yeah it's really great, but the other one he's not talking hahaha other is too talkative so cute lol,I try tht salad now
Just made this for our New Year’s dinner and its soo good!! Thank you’
Try to boil the potatoes with dill instead and add dill to the salad. That's the swedish way. 🙂
You know these guys are British when they say they need to take the heat off their onions.
Potato salad is my favourite salad and this recipe seems simple enough. I will give it a try but as I can just about boil water I'm not holding my breath.
You guys looking for me?
Omg the subtitles really sucks
Onions is too thick come on guys you supposed to be chefs?
I just made it. It's horrible! Nigella is way better!
Who wants to eat a slice of onion in their potato salad?

Pair of absolute stiffs
Y do british people use mint so much? Everything here sounds good but the mint

Yo, listen
Niggas give me the cold shoulder, I can speak for myself
So I keep a high waist and alligator the belt
And got a belt with the holster, I ain't playing games
But got some lil' niggas who would do it, so I pass the controller
You get pressed and X'd out, triangle your nose
Pause your life if you squares try to mess with my O's, whoa
So cut the crap like shit barbers
'Cause we really with the beef like closeted gay fathers
Nigga we get dollars, give 'em to Ben Baller
Exchange for them chains that's all shiny with thick water
I got back pains, neck heavy like whipped cream
My whip clean, and they all white, I whip cream
And cop boys, and I joy stick, I whip cream and cop cribs
I got more space than big jeans, y'all sleeping on me
Explain why they got shit dreams, I'm alien
Got the laser gun with the big beam
Married to the money, my bitch green
No I don't sip lean, but ride around in rockets like Yao Ming
Y'all niggas weak
They thought I was goofy and all mouses
Double C my luggage and fill them with Comme blouses
Y'all cop kush, my nigga, I cop houses
And fill em with some Leo DiCap's and Cole Sprouses, nigga
Where we, Rocky, A$AP, GOLF boy, where we at, nigga in Paris
Fuck clothes, I cop pieces
Couple thots with me and them hoes is like divas
Got my Vans on but they look like sneakers
Flipped a couple packs, BasedGod in the speakers
Bass all in the speakers
In the field like baseball, play ball
Face wall when polices come
I don't rock Chanel, I rock channel
And no this ain't a purse, it's a satchel
Bless at you, nah I ain't sneeze
But if niggas want steam or smoke, bet I match you
Got a bullet with your name on the barrel
If hollows don't clip, you get nip like it's catfood
That dude, when I die they gotta make a statue
Bad attitude this ain't a purse it's a satchel
Go to any nigga with money up in my bracket
Then I think about the state of rapping
All the freshmans in the classes
All the super seniors mumblin' and ramblin'
Mumblin' and rappin'
Mumble rapping?
I find it hard to find actual talent
I find it hard to find a actual challenge
I'm like Shabazz Palace's last acid hit, elaborate
Rap Lab's labyrinth
Word to Kodak's Black's Lazaruth
Calldrops on the album skits (ayo)
I'm the channel that you watch, I'm the ammo in the Glock
Weird nigga, full suit with the sandals and the socks, stop
And based on my neck, boy
You would think I hate glass homes way I'm handling the rocks
Who cast the first stone? Bitch it's me, fuck you thought?
Real grunge nigga, I ain't got a flannel as the top
And I'm picking up guitar, strum nigga
Bum niggas wish they could make a Garden Shed
But they sleeping on me, man, like their arm is dead
I'm a wild nigga boy, and you farmer bred born
You ain't animal, you are corn (haha, yeah)
K shiz, what up, nigga?
I have nothing cool to do

would love a revisit on this one cos it is basic AF and the onion slices are a no no.
